Woman Fights for Higher Slots Payout

An Atlantic County woman is suing Harrah’s Atlantic City saying that they did not give her the slots win that she had actually won. She claims that they are trying to give her a lower amount and she is taking them to court over it. She is suing for the full amount of the slots jackpot that she feels she won as well as attorney’s fees and court costs.

Angela Domino, 77, says that she was playing the nickel slot progressive jackpot machine at Harrah’s Atlantic City last month. She had just put her nickel in the Spin Poker slots game when she hit the jackpot for $86,000. She says that as she put her nickel in the slots game at 8:26 pm she noticed what the jackpot said and played accordingly.

The slots attendant came over and congratulated her on winning. According to the jackpot meter, she had won. However, a Harrah’s representative came over and told her that she had won $20,035.31. They told her that she had won just after someone else had, and that they had won the bigger amount. When the slots game reset, she won also, but a smaller amount.

She says she has been playing the slots for more than 11 years and she knows when she has won a game. She is suing for the full amount of the jackpot as she says that when she played her nickel she was playing for a larger amount and that is the amount that should be paid to her. The casino says that she won, just not what she thought she had.
